a phase of unheard shouts

what was causing the uneasy charm
in the confusion a clamouring for an answer
beneath the skies a canopy of quiet calm
a voice lost and stumped with coils of bother

a solitary tree dancing furiously in the winds
unlike a willow giving way but standing bold 
such was unrest invoked by a mysterious waiting
to succumb into inactivity on the writer's hold

a writer's block a phase of unheard shouts
frustration and loss to counter the imposed cover
sought by those as an option of a way out
a respite to dispel the recurring doubts that linger

  1. So hard to funnel those tumbling emotions into verse when having a writer's block

  2. It is most distressful when that happens, yes!

  3. Facets of writer's block, all disturbing. Especially liked this: "unrest invoked by a mysterious waiting", because the waiting does have a mystery about it. Brilliant, Hank.

  4. Writers block sucks. Sometimes it helps to take a walk alone in an uncharted place in inclement weather.

  5. Seems like a nice way to write yourself around the block.
